I can see the resemblance to Sovereign and Prometheus design. IT looks amazing.
On the last pic is the lower section of connecting thingie straight? Is that an alternative?

Welsh that looks quite.. Voyager-ish.. :P Its cool but it could use something a bit more.. modern.. ?

Hmm, you've achieved a design that has it's own aesthetic while giving a passing nod to the Prometheus, D'kyr and Sovvy. I think that JJtrek influences would ruin the flow of what is currently an amazing ship.

You're absolutely right Pax, I mainly showed it for when there was talk of bizarre things for the warp nacelles :)

It's not that bizarre actually; in those talks about different approach to design philosophy, I was following the natural flow of things in aspect of how we perceive aesthetics throughout history. With each breakthrough in technology we tend to improve upon the design features to complement the idea in new technology.
In Star Trek Universe there are numerous technology breakthrough but the design has remained almost the same for nearly 300 years. So I was thinking maybe it's time for something radically different but still familiar. :)

The nacelle definitely has a similar shape to yours. I think you should add the spherical shape sunk inside the nacelle a bit and then use the surround that's protruding out as a sort of ramscoop. Keep the actual bussard collector red rather than blue though. Afaik the E had a ramscoop instead of a bussard collector that was on the D.

Just finished a 20 hour session, I completely remade the main hull and many other aspects using a new technique.. About 20% done so far, still correcting mesh issues, but I've now figured out the nacelles. I've gone for a flat shape that mirrors the radial structure it's attached too.

Need to work on the details next... Thoughts?
